Originally, points could be used in so many ways, and there were so many ways to earn points. Charlie's thinking was opened, and he immediately came up with many new ideas, which he would put into practice one by one later. He vaguely felt that the obstacle that might restrict him from getting more points in the future could be his mentor, Anthony, and he needed to find a way to get more freedom from Anthony.
Under Pavlov's guidance, Charlie walked up to a magic imaging device, inserted his apprentice badge, and chanted a spell.
Suddenly, it went dark. Then, the darkness gradually dissipated, and a huge cloud of mist unfolded before his eyes, with sparkling jewels shimmering in the mist.
As Charlie's gaze focused, the mist gradually scattered, revealing a exquisite porcelain plate in front of him. In the center of the plate were several metal objects the size of fingers, seemingly made of stone and iron. On the stone tablet under the plate was an engraved inscription:
"Eiffel Refined Iron, advanced forging, enchanting, and runic material, 900 points per gram."
The description was very concise, and Charlie could only sigh in dismay, as the points he had could not even buy a gram.
Charlie skipped over the exhibits in the materials area and shifted his gaze to the equipment area.
"'Red Dragon Ring', legendary quality, made from the third cervical vertebra of a fire dragon after polishing, inlaid with abyss magic diamonds.This d*mn lizard's neck is really hard! -- Dragonslayer Flor Gonzalez."
The introduction of the equipment was more detailed. Not only did it have the original legends attached to the equipment, but also an analysis of the use effects and point data. At the bottom of the equipment description, Charlie found the attribute evaluation of the Red Dragon Ring.
"Increases fire magic spells by two to three levels, magic pool capacity 3000, equipped with the skill 'Lava Firestorm', worth 20,000 points."
The quality was amazing! But the points required were equally depressing!
It can be considered an eye-opener. Charlie understood the value of a legendary equipment, and also understood how far he was from legendary equipment.
His gaze kept sweeping over one piece of equipment after another: Chaos Ring, Arc Light Stone, Guinness's Appearance, Ryan's Tome...
Until Charlie's gaze fell on the most exquisite crystal platform in the equipment area, where a purple fingerless glove was shimmering under the hazy light, 'Andaria's Wisdom Cover' - Elemental Hands, a legendary set piece, endowing you with the talent of elemental affinity.
The attributes are relatively single, but it is an equipment that makes everyone crazy. For an apprentice, it can give you a perfect starting point; for a great mage, it means that you can master spells of other schools, and the combat power is incalculable. And what is more exciting is that it is one of the set pieces, and if you find another piece, you will activate a set attribute and gain a brand-new legendary equipment skill.
Charlie sighed deeply and withdrew from the magical illusion, no longer looking at the point data of this equipment, as it was astronomical anyway.
This must be the reason why the influence of the point system is so great! Materials, equipment, weapons, potions, scrolls, and so on, all kinds of things, all levels, all available, of excellent quality and outstanding performance.
Apprentice, teacher, authority, perhaps no one can resist its attraction, and to be able to develop the point system to this scale, Charlie had to admire the founder of the Arcane Circle, the man called the Arcane God, Spana. Undoubtedly, the point system is the most important reason for the prosperity and vitality of the Arcane Circle.
Charlie suddenly had an epiphany. He could understand the mentality of the operator Pavlov, and he could also understand the connotation of Qiandu's seemingly reckless words - points are never too much, keep earning them!
Charlie entered the point redemption list fantasy again, setting a purchase limit of 500 points, ignoring some combat supply potions and low-level equipment, and the items were immediately reduced a lot.
Advanced magic capacity potions, peaceful meditation potions, are the two types of functional potions that Charlie can currently purchase. The former increases the individual's magic pool limit, and the latter provides a state of doubled mental recovery for half a month. Neither of them is what Charlie currently needs.
It's only when you use them that you realize how little points you have!
After careful consideration, Charlie finally chose the 'Starry Meditation' course of the Great Mage Nael, a total of five class hours, worth 250 points.
Without learning the meditation method of the magical system, there is no way to expand one's own magic pool, and combat can only rely on equipment. This is Charlie's biggest regret, and now that he has the option, he needs to fill this gap.
After confirming the purchase, Charlie's remaining point balance was only 50 points, and all the items in the list greyed out, leaving him temporarily without purchasing power.
From here on, the difference in apprentice talent will begin to play a role, and the cumulative effect over time may be subversive. Charlie must seize every moment and strive to improve himself.
Then the point system prompt that the course arrangement will be transmitted to the redemption recipient through the apprentice badge after the teaching mentor confirms it.
Charlie glanced at the magic clock around him, quickly packed up and started to return. The time was slightly beyond the estimated time, as browsing the redemption list had consumed a lot of his time.
Running through the underground passage, it only took him less than ten minutes to return to Anthony's lab.
The door was slightly ajar.
Charlie seemed to have an ominous premonition. He pushed open the door, and his premonition was confirmed. He saw the mentor Anthony sitting in front of him.
In the corner of the glass window in the side hall, Jerry's sly shadow could be vaguely seen.
Charlie nodded to Anthony without saying a word.
"You're back?"
"Mm."
"Where did you go?"
Charlie sneered inwardly, but responded calmly, "I went to the point market to buy something, to verify one of my ideas."
"Did you buy anything?"
"No, but I bought Nael's meditation course."
This was something he couldn't hide. If the course started, he would have to ask Anthony for leave, so he might as well just say it.
Anthony frowned and asked, "A beginner like you has quite a few points? Enough to buy Master Nael's Starry Meditation!"
"Qiandu gave it to me, so I might as well use it."
Anthony tapped the table and said word by word, "Do you think I can't teach you magical meditation?"
"No, I just want to pursue perfection, and Nael's course looks interesting, why not give it a try?"
"But you left the lab without my permission. Do you think my rules are just a pile of sh*t? Or do I look very kind and easy to get along with?"
Anthony's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, the thunderous sound causing the glass vessels in the room to vibrate, and the atmosphere became unusually oppressive.
Charlie responded calmly, "First of all, teacher didn't give any prohibition, so I shouldn't be considered a violation. Moreover, I think my approach has value, so I went out to try it. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Charlie was well aware of the consequences of offending the teacher. Not to mention whether Anthony had the authority to deal with him, just from the level of strength, this kind of confrontation was already very dangerous. In fact, the current tone of the dialogue was already a kind of offense, but Charlie had no way to avoid it.
Anthony sneered, "Do you think the right thing is to go to the point market during working hours and buy another teacher's course?"
Charlie shook his head and said, "No! The purpose of my outing was to try to verify the 'optimization plan for processing magic-contaminated bat droppings', and the purchase of the course was a spur of the moment decision."
"And then you put the main task aside and did your own thing, right?!"
"No, because I felt the lab equipment seemed to meet my conditions, so I didn't need to spend the points, so I didn't take action."
Anthony slapped the table and shouted, "Good! Then show me your optimization plan! If you're lying, double the punishment! Charlie, you must understand that in the Arcane Circle, I have the right to dispose of your life!"
Charlie smiled calmly and said, "Of course, that's your right! But I believe a wise mentor won't do that."
He then went to the side experimental desk and started his experiment, fortunately he had prepared in advance...
Today's encounter must have some human factors. If the guess is not wrong, the informant should be Jerry. If the guess is confirmed, Charlie must retaliate against him.
For such classmates who secretly use underhanded means, there is no need to be soft-hearted.
